I am a Pacific Northwest native transplanted to the southeast for 36 years. In 2012, I returned to my childhood home and fell in love with this corner of the country again. I am a grandmother, a storywriter, a teacher, an attention payer, a hiker, and a back roads wanderer. Check out my website (and my memoir) at www.gretchenstaebler.com.

Writing Down the Story 
I kinda think the dandelion is there as a reminder to be persistent. That surely is a blossom not to be easily ignored. I am blissed out on the sun through the trees … Komorebi! Beautiful capture.

Nice reframe. 🙂

Someone told me once that it’s possible to find a dandelion blooming in every month of the year. Although the plant itself is a nuisance, I adore the blossoms, which are sometimes the only beacon of hope to be found.

I love the perky bright spots in the meadow for sure. The ones in the yard (which threatens to be all there is and makes croquet challenging), and perhaps in the garden, are not true dandelions, but Cat’s Ear, or maybe Hawkweed—the tall, branching kind with small blooms that are not beloved. Where and what proves to be a big difference between my love and hate.; and, In fact, I’m not sure I have any true dandelions.

Well if that doesn’t scream out hope, I don’t know what does. Thanks for all the beauty.

If one ignores the dandelion. I’m not ready yet. But you are welcome for the beauty! You and Alan should come for a stay at Three of Earth Farm. (Off season discount available to you.)
